"cget" and "configure" commands are common to all widgets, I suggest to group them with standard options under section ("widget - Standard options and commands supported by Tk widgets") as they did with ("ttk::widget - Standard options and commands supported by Tk themed widgets").

And in widget's description they divide commands into:
-STANDARD COMMAND: with reference to common "cget" and "configure" commands.
-SPECIFIC COMMAND

HOW AGREE WITH ME?

Dear Sebastian Adil,

thank you for the contribution and the valueable probopsition.
I noticed also your ticket on tk about that.

This is a good idea but requires a lot of work on the practical side,
e.g. change many documentation pages.

The Tk maintainers (Francois) probably will not attack this work, even
if it is a good idea.
Most maintainers work on a spare-time level and has enough to do to look
to contribution where all their work is already done.
That is IMHO the reason why there are little responses on a structural
documentation change which will pass from "ok but suboptimal" to "ok and
less sub-optimal".

If you want to prepare a patch on your own, here is a wiki page to edit
the documentation:
https://core.tcl.tk/tcl/wiki?name=How+to+edit/test+tcl+man+pages

Hope this gives a bit of an answer.

Best regards,
Harald

P.S. If your native language is German (you have typicall German natives
issues in your English), don't hesitate to discuss in German language.
You find my E-Mail on wiki.tcl.tk/hao

Best regards,
Harald

Nice idea, here is how to do about getting it done:
1) Do the work to implement it
2) Create a TIP with the implementation as a reference implementation

Alternatively, you could find and pay a consultant to do #1 and #2.
